For as long as I can remember, peanut butter blossoms cookies topped with a Hershey Kiss have been on cookie trays at parties, showers, and bake sales and especially throughout the holidays.

A little bit puffy with cracks along their edges, they have always been one of the cookies that I am the most drawn to. Understandably so, they have a whole lot going for them – peanut butter, chocolate, and cuteness galore!

I love to watch how different people eat these cookies. I’m one of those people that nibbles the cookie around the Kiss in the center and then pops it in my mouth as a reward for my restraint as the final bite! But Sam on the other hand, he just goes for it with big ole chomps out of the cookie right from the start! When I asked him why he ate his cookie that way, he said, “to make sure I get chocolate with my peanut butter.”

It was a bit of an aha moment.

Last Christmas, I decided that those little blossoms needed a little bit of an update for the chocolate fanatic in my house. Now, I think they are the perfect combination of peanut butter and chocolate in every single bite!

Here’s my Chocolate Peanut Butter Blossoms Cookies recipe. If you love chocolate as much as Sam does, I think you’ll love this version, too!
